RESCUE ME: Denis Leary's FX series dramatizing the post-9/11 lives of NYC firefighters finally hits high-def, with its evocative location filming and outrageous adult situations and humor. The packaging is sharp _ seven seasons (2004-2011) compactly housed in a pair of thick plastic Blu-ray flipper cases, inside a paper slipcase, with a clear plastic sleeve over that to keep things looking crisp. Season-set extras retained here include creators' pilot commentary and incisive look-back chat, real FDNY guys speak, set-location tours, many more featurettes, gag reel. (However, bonus listed on final disc was ultimately not included. Plus, up to seven episodes crammed per disc.) List price: $150 Blu for 16 discs, new from Mill Creek.
COMMUNITY: Joel McHale goes high-def in 6 seasons of NBC's adult college ensemble comedy with Chevy Chase, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong. Discs are double-stacked in 3 plastic cases, loosely housed in a flimsy sleeve. At least creator Dan Harmon's 110 episodes boast commentaries on all season 1-5 adventures (retained from season sets), along with featurettes, fun outtakes, more (but extras video quality can be poor, some season 2 DVD extras missing); $100 Blu for 12 discs, Mill Creek.
